If anything, don't expect anything to happen any time soon in relation to creating this Art forum. There is simply too much happening right now for the crew to incorporate one.
I suggest creating and bringing in interest and contributions to the kind of threads that'd be best suited for such a forum here in SO (mods permitting).
That way, when the time comes and the resources are free to maybe do something about it, you will have many examples as to why you believe such a forum will generate traffic and demand.

The current problem with that idea, as nice as it sounds, is that IMO that isn't really an option. The 'arts' discussion in SO is lumped into large threads, which is conducive to
some discussion, but doesn't really allow for ongoing discussion about any specific works/artist/whathaveyou. The minute someone tries to post their own work it's closed (i'm speaking generally here, i've posted one and gotten away with it, and i'm sure others have too - but as a general rule) and they're told to go to the
share your artwork! thread or to the Gallery. Both of those lead us right back to the problem at hand, lack of ability for any specific ongoing discussion.
I'm just curious, what's the ''too much'' going on right now that would stop it from being done? I honestly don't know, which is why I ask, I'm not questioning the fact.
As far as traffic goes, everyone keeps asking, but nobody seems to be answering; What about the forums that move slow now? There doesn't seem to be any rush to get rid of them, and I, like many others, find it very hard to believe that the Arts forum moved any slower than Words and some of the others that are here now.
